Breaking Bonus Points
In addition to the performance of your daily fantasy roster, your performance in the breaks can add bonus points to your season-long total.
Bonus points earned in the breaks count only towards your season-long total. Breaking bonus points do not get applied towards your weekly roster total.
*Player must be on your daily fantasy football roster the next week to earn bonus points*

For example: Let’s say you have the Cowboys spot in a Wednesday evening break and you pull a Dak Prescott, numbered to 99. You must then decide if you’re going to start him in your QB spot for his next game on Sunday. Starting Prescott that week may not be your best decision to win the week, but if you do start him and he throws 2 TD or more, you will receive an extra 25 bonus points for the overall season.
The cards you hit in the breaks can add points to your Fantasy Football total.

The potential breaking bonus points you accrue in addition to your points in the fantasy football league will be added only to your season-long total. In order to keep track of your standing in the season-long total, we will share an online scoreboard with you at the start of the season. The scoreboard will be updated at the beginning of each week.
